I attended Paulie’s Yin Yoga Teacher Training; and I’ll say this: Monkey Kung fu Master Paulie Zink is an animal. Actually, based on how he can move, he’s the embodiment of of all sorts of animals and creatures. He can put himself into any animal posture he wants with uncanny flexibility, mobility and strength. Most importantly, he can show you how to do the same regardless of what you’ve been told about limiting bone structures and other tall tales. As a result of his training your life, your health and your fitness will dramatically improve. I’ve been following Paulie Zink and his Monkey Kung fu for years but after meeting him in person I was astounded, not only by his mastery, but by his incredible teaching ability. He can show you how to get to the next level in your journey, starting you at your current level, with simple postures and movements that will undoubtedly take you to peaks you may have previously thought impossible.

“This was possible because of Paulie”
The following is a testimonial by Paulie’s student Brian Monnier, Martial Artist, Yoga and Fitness Trainer,
owner of bodytonicsf.com school in San Francisco:
I started teaching yoga after sustaining injuries in martial arts. I have been a yoga teacher and fitness instructor for 20 years and I can safely say that Paulie’s influence and his teachings have completely transformed my body.
I have been a martial artist now for 30 years. Since I started at 17, I have known about Paulie, his Monkey Kung fu and Yin yoga, and had always wanted to learn from him.
My martial arts practice has been completely changed after working with Paulie over the last year and a half in his monthly Zoom yoga classes. And the change in my body has been considerable.
Even though I have been a fitness instructor and yoga teacher for two decades, the influence of what he teaches and how it has affected my body so that I can move freely within my martial arts is just simply amazing.
Everything Paulie teaches can be broken down or elevated in a way that makes whatever movement you want to do completely possible.
Everything that Paulie has taught me made it possible for me to do this Kung fu demonstration form at peak performance, at 49 years of age, and not mess myself up.
It’s been ten years since I’ve done a public demo and not only was I able to perform with more power and speed, but I was able to NOT get those tweaks that happen during athletics which often leave you debilitated for weeks.
I cannot express enough how much of a difference Paulie ‘s work can make in your body. He is kind, knowledgeable and the things he can do not only with his own body, but lead you to do with your own body, is simply impressive.
Master Zink is a rare example of a teacher who is able to provide for all levels experience in his classes- from beginner to advanced, he can meet you at the level YOU are at.
And the stuff that this guy can do with his body….
Seriously, I’m always left with “How does he do it??”
Spend some time with him. And everything in your practice and life will change.
